Description

Nestled behind the Endless Mountains in Luzerne County; the rolling hills of the Back Mountain are a scenic blend of Pennsylvania�s natural beauty and history. Adjacent to the anthracite coal regions of Luzerne and Lackawanna Counties; the Back Mountain includes Kingston Township; Trucksville; Shavertown; Dallas; Huntsville; Lehman; and Harvey�s Lake. Historically the area offered many forms of recreation and entertainment; which brought tourists from all over the Northeast. Harvey�s Lake is the largest natural lake in Pennsylvania; and it became a major resort destination in the early 20th century. Pennsylvania�s Back Mountain is a compilation of rare photographs documenting this historic community and revealing a bygone era of amusement parks; hotels; railroads; and steamboats.
